Fixed - Firefox flickering menu bar

Hi,
I'm using XFCE 4.12.1 and Firefox 88.

Only within Firefox, a horizontal bar appears above the address bar (over the menu bar and below the title bar). It gradually appears and disappears whenever there is screen activity within the Firefox window (e.g. cursor blinking in the address bar, page loading). The bar contains whatever is behind the Firefox window (e.g. the part of the desktop or app which is behind that section of the window).

A screenshot of the effect is at:

Is there a method to correct this? I've tried disabling display compositing in the Window Manager Tweaks.

Thanks

Fixed in Firefox: Open the Tools | Settings menu. In the General tab, uncheck "Use recommended performance settings", and "Use hardware acceleration when available".
